This is an excellent venue for folks who are either into tattoos or want to learn more. I must admit that it’s a bit tough being a «virgin» at the event. You can come and go with an armband, which was nice, My daughter got a tattoo at the event and it’s pretty nice. If you are a skin virgin and unsure of whether you want to get a tattoo, keep that to yourself. There was a bit of shaming about my not having or getting a tattoo. I donate blood, so I don’t know if the waiting period before being able to donate again is worth it to me.

People who like tattoos, people with tattoos, people getting tattoos, people getting tattoos of people getting tattoos… Jasmine B won some free tickets to this event and I was the lucky friend who got to be her +1. Well I am hoping to get a new tattoo soon, and I really respect the talented artists, and there were some features and mini shows going on at the convention that I was looking forward to seeing. The Dangerous Fun Show was not very dangerous and was just fun. His«tricks» were pretty obvious but his mustache was cool. Marlo Marquise was a huge feature and the announcer boasted that she’s a big success and toured with Jane’s Addiction, and I felt by the look on her face that she might have felt that the MN convention room was kinda below her. But she was entertaining and hot, so thanks for eating fire half-naked for us. I think Black Heart Burlesque was the best part, the costumes and ladies were really beautiful! And the woman who organizes the group was so classy, ya know, in a stripping-in-public kind of way. The Enigma(the guy tattooed and modified from eyeballs to toes) was very funny and entertaining, when I was able to understand what he was saying. And finally, the human suspension evoked mixed reactions in me like, «holy hell that’s interesting» and«holy hell that’s disgusting», which would dub it a success. The girl who swung by her elbows was having a tough time though and is probably now scarred for life both figuratively and literally. Overall it’s worth checking out!
